Artem has made a post with a pingback to our blog today. When I saw it appear in the comments section looking all nice and clean I remembered that for some reason my pingbacks always come out completely screwed up.
I started digging the WP code to see how it grabs the excerpt. Turns out that you need to have some kind of important tag separating your actual post text with your header and comment sections, so it wouldn’t grab those. Also it turned out that DIV is not one of those important tags. P however is.
It took me a while to realize that, but I must say that I impressed myself. All should be well now.
Image Captions is a simple script that uses the alt attribute of your images to create a mouse-over captions for them. The captions do not change the layout of your site in any way and the installation is as simple as including 1 line of code in the header of the page. If you kept the alt attributes of your images in order you won’t have to change anything else. The script finds the right images and adds the captions automatically.
You can see the example of the script in action on the image above. To get that result all I had to do was to add the following to my post:
<img src="mac_screen.jpg" class="centered"
alt="Image Captions Script on Mac Screen"/>
The script will work on any page and does not rely on any WordPress functionality. The code has been tested in the following browsers: Firefox 2.x, Firefox 3.x, Safari 3.x, IE 6.x and IE 7.x. Read more…

Pretty cool, dude. Nice thing to have.
I’ll play with it a little later. Right now I’m working on new ASP.NET project. Everything seems weird with it…

Ah, I wanted to ask you to test this thing out and give me a feed back on the installation process — weather I wrote it up OK, or not, but you went offline at that very moment!

I didn’t realize you wrote this script. I’ll install it sometime this week - it’s just that I can’t look at my computer anymore

It’s now have been a couple of days since I’ve started playing with a Mac. There are both positives and negatives that I’ve run across. For me something new is always interesting, and considering that I’ve been using DOS, Linux and Windows for decades now — Mac OS I’ve only seen from a far.
I’ll start with specs of our machine — MacBook Pro.
- 2.4GHz Intel Penryn Core 2 Duo
- 2GB 667MHz DDR2 SDRAM — 2×1GB
- 200GB Serial ATA Drive @ 5400 rpm
- NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT with 256MB
- 15-inch Glossy LED Widescreen Display
- SuperDrive 8x (DVD±R DL/DVD±RW/CD-RW)
- Backlit Keyboard/Mac OS - U.S. English
- Multi-touch Trackpad
Apple is a master of the eye-candy. Everything looks nice and clean with nifty animations all over the place. Read more…

Not exactly the news anymore, but here’s a well written article explaining one problem with iPhone SDK — no multitasking for 3rd party application. Do note that Apple’s own apps do not have this limitation. (3)

That’s kinda disappointing…
I use multitasking a lot (IE, IM, Notes running at the same time)
I’m wondering when they’re going to address this issue if they’re planning at all… ??:

says:March 14, 2008 @ 16:27
Out of the programs you listed the only one that would have a problem is IM. Why would you need to run Notes in the background? It does nothing there. You can easily start and switch between the apps. The problem is with those that actually do something, like IM.
I don’t know if they will do anything. The thing is that jail-broken iPhones have no problems with running programs in the background. So I guess SDK won’t kill all of that after all.

Oh, I see what you’re saying. I though you could only run one at a time. Then it’s not so critical

As was expected, Apple made a lot of news today. I just wanted to say that as a developer I’m very happy about everything I’m hearing today. (1)

That’s very interesting news. I was more interested in the SDK pricing than anything else. I’m a little puzzled by “it will be available to a limited number of people”. The SDK price tag per year isn’t bad, even the enterprise one. I recall Verizon charges $200 *per application*. 30% cut per application is a lot, but I wanted to develop free client applications anyway, so they’re welcome to take 30% of that:)

I just added a new feature that I’ve been meaning to add for a while now, and Таня (thank you!) actually made me do it. 
Now when you leave a comment you should see a check box which will allow you to get an email notification if somebody leaves a comment after you. (15)

Let me try it! (although I check the blog too often to really enjoy the benefits of this feature 
).
Somebody, please leave a comment!

How is it? Working?

Вы на связи?
Я - да!

Может это опцию по умолчанию включить? Большинству будет интересно прослеживать все хитросплетения бесед, в которых они вольно или невольно принимают участие .

Да, думаю так и сделаю. Просто мне пришлось править code чтоб оно работало в таком формате в каком у нас блог (много пост форм на одной странице). Там куча проверок, и так далее. В общем немного сложнее чем хотелось бы, но нет ничего невозможного.

Даня, логичным продолжением будет возможность оформить подписку на любую новую запись в блоге .

says:January 22, 2008 @ 09:55
Я кстати когда искал какой нибудь plug-in для подписки на комментарии сначала на такой и наткнулся — подписка на блог. Но с другой стороны есть же RSS feed. Можно просто добавить в read of choice.
Таня, ну как, работает?

Да!
Так клево.
Очень удобно!

а вот кеширование имени и мыла работает как-то через раз.
один раз пытаюсь добавить комент - оно меня помнит, любит и уважает.
другой раз - не узнаёт в упор (всё в пределах одного часа ползанья по блогу, в рамках одной сессии). Браузер - ослик (IE 6.0).
15
says:February 2, 2008 @ 15:10
о, теперь узнало.
можно я буду продолжать быть вредным?
табуляция подхрамывает, если открыты две формы для ввода комента, курсор находится на второй (нижней) форме в поле имя, нажимаю Tab - курсор переходит на поле Mail, но уже первой формы

After many more evenings and sleepless nights I’m actually very excited to introduce a new version of the blog design.
As you can see I’ve reused several elements from the design that I have decided to scrap, but everything else is brand new. I for one am very happy with the end result. It’s a far superior product compared to the one that I decided not to use.
I would very much like to hear your opinions about this. Things you like, things you don’t like, compliments and constructive criticism, if you notice some glitches or problems. Everything is welcome. I hope you’ll take a couple of moments and leave a comment.
On the tech side of things I want to say that this is my first site with no tables. Everything is done through CSS. Firefox is a great browser, and if you’re not using it yet, you should switch. IE on the other hand took hours upon hours to get right. Also not a single pixel was “borrowed” from somebody, 100% of work was done by me.
Anyhow, as I said, I’m very happy with the end result and I’m waiting for your comments!
